Scott Mattlin (American): title unknown [woman dressing in white ball gown], 1955; oils on canvas. Impressionist American painter. "Love the texture the artist has built into the dress with the heavy use of white paint; yet, he has maintained the transparency of the fabric, especially in the sleeves... a wonderfully crisp pallette!" ~js

American painter Scott Mattlin is an artist with a deep and passionate appreciation for beauty in the natural world and within the human spirit. This enthusiastic and sensitive joy is reflected strongly in his artwork. His work is executed in a vibrant, impressionistic style, which - while still retaining its representational roots, incorporates abstract elements, resulting in a uniquely contemporary union..

This painting by Scott Mattlin is astonishing. The expression of the colors and the elastic oil paint came to the perfect expression of a portrait of a ballet dancer. I love the way he mixed the white and neutral colour around the arm cuffs to create an almost icy, silky, see through look which is a really beautiful detail ❤️

This is just so very beautiful. If that dress existed in real life it could not possibly be as beautiful as it is here. *Scott Mattlin 1955 | Impressionist American Painter - ballerina
